My point is not that the OP is not a horror.....but that the idea of 'honor' and 'reputation' can be behind horrors of all kinds....and among all peoples.
Homo homini lupus.
The Kennedys did not murder Rosemary. She lived her life out to almost 90 years of age. A lobotomy was performed, according to Kennedy sources, as it was the prescribed protocol at the time for her behavioral problems, as lobotomies are today.
You need to give further thought to the matter.
"... lobotomies, resulting in a severe mental impairment that left her paralysed, incoherent, and incontinent."

BBC News - Turkish girl 'buried alive' in family gardenMedine, who had never been to school, lived in Kahta, a town in the mainly Kurdish south-east of Turkey, where most honour killings have taken place.
Turkish girl buried alive in 'honour killing' | thetelegraph.com.auIn honour killings, most prevalent in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, a so-called family council names a member to murder a female relative considered to have sullied the family honour, usually by engaging in an extra-marital affair.
More than 12,000 women were killed in the name of honor in Kurdistan from 1991 to 2007, according to Aso Kamal of the Doaa Network Against Violence. Government figures are much lower, and show a decline in recent years, and Kurdish law has mandated since 2008 that an honor killing be treated like any other murder. But the practice continues, and the crime is often hidden or disguised to look like suicide.
Recent studies, including an Iraqi human rights ministry survey conducted last year, show that up to 23% of Iraqi Kurdish girls under 13 have undergone female genital mutilation. However, the report also reveals the figure is sharply higher among girls aged 14 to 18 (45%), suggesting an apparent recent shift in attitudes.
The case has caused outrage in Turkey and reopened the debate over so-called honour killings which are particularly prevalent in the predominantly Kurdish south-east of the country.

It's a problem of an ethnical minority within Turkey, and not all of that community runs around and kill for honor.
And those who do, don't practice female mutilation like the Kurds in Iraq do.

“A lot of the honor killings in Istanbul are being committed by people who moved from villages in the southeast,” says Vildan Yirmibesoglu, head of Istanbul’s Human Rights Council.
Yeah those Kurds are totally animals and beasts, you Turks and Arabs should give them their own country and let them kill each other in it.

Now that the USA is out of Iraq the USA doesn't desparately need to portray a success-story within Iraq, like US press has done with N.Iraq.
I think more of the real situation will now be reseved in the press, and less of the "Not all is so bad in Iraq"-stories.

Most honour killings happen in the Kurdish region, a barren land ravaged by years of war and oppression. Rural communities here are ruled under a strict feudal, patriarchal system. But as Kurds have fled the fighting between separatist rebels and Turkey's government, the crime is spreading across the country into its cities and towns.
I was on liberty in Jiddah Saudi Arabia, walking around with some friends, one of whom was an SM1 female who was HOOOOTTTT!!!!! A couple of Saudi guys kept following us around asking how many camels we'd take for her. They started at 20, and kept offering more until it was around 100, then they got the message and left.
